Hi Ram,
You can use Synaptic package manager on the first installation. After
that select all the packages you need to install and create a script.
You can execute the script to download the packages once from any
computer and then install those packages from Synaptic itself. It will
at least bring down your bandwidth usage and the manual effort up to
some extent.
Thanks,
Subhadip

Hi
I need to install Ubuntu (or mint) on about 30 laptops , apart from the
basic install there is a tonne of other software (and i suppose updates)
that need to be installed
and doing that for 30 ls laptops is both time consuming and band width
consuming if i use only the basic install
Have tried Ubuntu Customisation Kit (UCK) but this seems to fail when i
want to add new / more software .
Of course synaptic does not run but neither does the terminal pop up for it
to allow adding other software through apt-get install .
Any suggestions / alternatives would be much appreciated
kind regards
ram

You could try downloading the .deb packages once, with all the dependencies
and use dpkg -i * to install them in each of these machines.
But that's the laborious and straightforward way of doing this.

Hi,?
?I have two ideas:?
- with 4M linux you can create an image and then restore it to the others
- for the packages there is a possibility to create " meta packages" e.g.
gnome-desktop which include a lot of other packages
I havent tried any of those myself but i read it is possible
